Japanese Gardens Journey: A Journey of Discovery in Secret Gardens of Japan by Monty Don

"A beautifully illustrated and inspiring journey through some of the most beautiful gardens in Japan." —The Guardian

In his new book, Japanese Gardens Journey, Monty Don takes us on a journey of discovery through some of the most beautiful and tranquil gardens in Japan. These gardens are a testament to the Japanese people's love of nature and their ability to create spaces that are both beautiful and serene.

Don's journey begins in the ancient city of Kyoto, where he visits the famous Ginkaku-ji Temple, also known as the Silver Pavilion. The temple's garden is a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance, with its white gravel paths, moss-covered rocks, and carefully placed trees and shrubs. Don also visits the Ryoan-ji Temple, whose famous rock garden is one of the most iconic images of Japanese Zen culture.
